Because the Pianobox USB is fully General MIDI compatible, you can send normal GM bank select
and program change orders with a sequenzer or a masterkeyboard. So you will reach the additional
sounds and drumsets. The drumsounds are only triggered on MIDI channel 10. You can use 16
channels at one time with different sounds, because the sound engine of the Pianobox USB is
multitimbral.
If you use the Pianobox USB with the USB port on a PC, the Pianobox USB will be fully USB
powered. You can use the internal USB MIDI Interface to record and playback MIDI files.
